Pest Information

Cockroaches
Cockroaches in a home is one of the biggest fears for home and business owners! They run fast, they hide and they can be huge! They can also carry several diseases and can cause extreme health problems. These are not welcome housemates! PestClear has one of the best cockroach treatments on the sunshine coast to completely remove cockroaches from your home or commercial building. The treatment we use are highly toxic to cockroaches however, safe to use in premises where there are children, pets and allergy/asthma sufferers. We guarantee we have cleared the cockroaches – if they come back so do we (free of charge).

German Cockroaches
German Cockroaches are one of the most difficult of the cockroach species to pest manage, whilst they are difficult they are definitely not impossible. German cockroaches are generally found living close to a water and food source. We commonly find them living in kitchens, laundries and bathrooms. We have found them in kettles, toasters, dishwashers and washing machines!

The treatment of German Cockroaches needs precision and patience! PestClear’s treatment for German cockroaches is not a repellent rather a highly palatable food for the cockroaches which whilst they love the taste it is toxic to them. Cockroaches die quickly once ingesting this treatment.  Once the German cockroach eggs hatch, they too will eat the treatment and die. Clients will see a significant decrease in German cockroaches after the initial treatment however, due to the life cycle of the cockroach (and having to wait for any egg capsules to hatch) this may take up to a month to completely clear all the cockroaches from the premises. We will remain in constant contact with the you and revisit during this period to ensure they are completely cleared from your premises.

Ants
Ants are a social insect that lives in colonies. It is important that treatment plans include the elimination of the entire colony. Typical ant spays, repellent spray will only kill a few at best. Ants enter premises at times through the smallest holes/openings looking for food, water or to seek shelter. Once they find a food source, ants will leave a pheromone trail for other ants to follow. This is why it is important to ensure that the ants that are seen are used as part of the treatment to remove the colony rather than clear the ones that are seen.  Call PestClear for an inspection and treatment plan.

Fleas
Itchy? Are your pets scratching? Are there fleas jumping through your carpets and pet bedding? Flea infestations need to not only be treated as soon as possible but in a thorough and methodical way to ensure that all stages of the life cycle has been treated and the fleas completely eradicated. Treatments both chemical and physical should be conducted both inside and outside of your home. PestClear work with their clients to ensure all fleas are eliminated and our pets are comfortable once again.

PestClear also provides ‘End of lease’ flea treatments to a large number of clients and real estates on the Sunshine Coast. This will ensure that there are no surprise lodgers (in the form of fleas) for the new tenants!

Rodents
Rodents can multiply quickly and will do significant damage to your home and business. Rodents can contaminate food and other materials through the faeces/droppings they leave behind.   As well as the serious health risks rodent pose due to disease and contamination there is also the damage they can do by chewing your furniture and through electrical wires (fire risk).

The most effective way to get rid of rats and mice quickly is with one of PestClear’s affordable, proven rodent treatments. We use an environmentally sensitive approach to ensure we are only eliminating the rodents and not their predators as well. We will tailor our solutions based on our clients individual needs and also offer effective deterrent solutions to avoid a re-infestation.

Bed Bugs
Increasing numbers of bed bug infestations have been reported in Australia. They will hide (and lay eggs) in a variety of household objects close to where humans sleep such as mattresses, bed frames, furniture, behind skirting boards, loose wallpaper and floorboards, and in cracks and crevices of walls. Bed bugs will generally feed at night when you are trying to sleep and retreat to their hiding spot during the day. We will inspect your premises to ensure that bed bugs are present before tailoring a treatment to suit your needs and commencing treatment. The treatment we use will clear the bed bugs and ensure that you return to having a deep sleep without these pests joining you!
